Time for a Giveaway

October Surprise 38" x 50"

Next week most of us in the U.S. will celebrate
Thanksgiving. For my family this involves a trip around the Capital Beltway
into Maryland to my parents’ house where we enjoy good company and a wonderful dinner of turkey, stuffing, sweet
potatoes, corn, cole slaw and pies (pumpkin, pecan and apple). I also want to
celebrate here. Your encouraging comments and cyber friendships mean a lot to
me. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, respond to my questions, follow and lurk. I also realized it has been almost 2 years since I started this blog. It’s
been fun and I’ve learned so much from you. So it’s time for a giveaway! Your chances are good - I'll have four winners.

I made
four little quilts with the leftover flying geese from October Surprise. I’m being a little sneaky here – I already
picked two winners from those who commented two posts ago. I wanted to thank those of you who often or always comment on my posts. My method is to write your names on slips of paper and blindly pull them out of a bowl. I haven't tried the random number generator. The old fashioned way seems more fun to me.

The remaining two little quilts will be selected from commenters on this post (it would be nice if you are a follower) and will be announced December 2nd. I want to give plenty of time for people who are busy traveling for or hosting Thanksgiving to comment. I'm willing and happy to send these little quilts to other countries.

Very sweet of you, Maureen. Each little quilt is a treasure. I know Doniene and am so happy to see her win. She is a sweetheart!October Surprise is a beautiful quilt, and the little quiltlet offspring are precious. : )

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, dear Maureen, and THANKS for your generosity and the continuous inspiration you're giving. Keep going, dear!Your October quilt is fantastic, and so are your little flying geese quilts. To me, those flying geese blocks represent how we can dream and "fly away" when quilting... I also love small quilts, as our home walls are not so big, so these are just perfect to hang and be enjoyed ;>)

Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you enjoy your family reunion and just have time to relax too!Your little quilts are adorable, this is so generous of youcongrats for 2 years of blogging, heres to 2 more!thanks for the chance to win one I would love to add it to my wall of little quilts

These minis are so darned cute! I can't get over how different they all look, even though they all have the same scraps of flying geese in them! They are awesome in every way! And thanks for the chances......woohoo....4 winners! Can't get any better than that! :o)

What adorable little quilts and you give me inspiration for something to do with the scraps that are left over from a larger quilt. I am a follower and would be honored to own one of your quilts. Thanks for a chance.

Wow, what a generous giveaway! I discovered you about a week ago through Taryn's Mini and Doll Quilt Show, and I'm so happy I did. Congrats to the two lucky winners... and good luck to the rest of the quilt bloggers! What a wonderful "family" we are all members of!
